Summertime Philanthropy (contd)


Thirsty for more ideas on how to serve your community this summer?  No worries.  Like your favorite sunscreen, we’ve got you covered.  Here’s a list of simple ways to give back (and rack up community service hours while you're at it):

- Find a community garden near you and offer to de-weed or plant new seeds (be sure to take a floppy hat to protect your face and head from the sun!)
- Round up a few of your fellow YAC members to distribute fans to those at ballgames
- Gather small bottles of soap, shampoo and other personal hygiene products to donate to local jails or homeless shelters
- Volunteer at your local food bank by restocking shelves or delivering nonperishable items
- Write “thinking of you” letters to a nursing home (make sure you call to get a headcount of all the residents so you have enough cards)
